chazlin Posted February 22, 2007 Share #1  Posted February 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Everyone =)  I came across a strange anomaly on my M8 the other night... I saw it at first on the camera's preview screen right after I took the picture, but I figured it was probably just a glitch in the preview function. But after I downloaded the picture to my computer I realized it actually recorded the picture that way...  Any ideas how this might have happened? I guess it's not a big problem (first time it happened to me in 3300 exposures) but I'm still curious how it might have happened  Thanks! =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoskeptic Posted February 22, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Charles, looks like the frame shifted. Really weird. It would be interesting to see if it happened again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pascal_meheut Posted February 22, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted February 22, 2007 I had a strange problem like this (but not exactly) yesterday evening and according to Leica, it may come from the SD card, bad sector or something. You can try to reformat it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted February 22, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted February 22, 2007 1 month ago I saw the same problem in the Hewlett Packard 3MP used by my daughter: I had just mounted a new and very cheap SD card... never happened before with the previous SD card... think is related to this device, even if I have no tech proof .

Guest guy_mancuso Posted February 22, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Either a SD card or maybe you hit the power button half way and did not realize it and kicked back on (it's a stretch) . I would certainly try another card and format this one in camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazlin Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share #7  Posted February 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks so much for the replies everyone! =)  I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the power or restart the camera right before this shot because this was shot in a sequence of 3 pictures... this was the last one, and the only one that turned out this way  Must be the SD card then (Transcend 150x 4GB) anyway, will format it and hope it doesn't happen someday on an important shot =)  Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted February 22, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Sounds like acard . I reformat every time I put a card in the camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trs Posted February 22, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted February 22, 2007 Funny thing is that I have seen this long time ago in print from film once. I could never figure out why, but picture from the same frame got printed half switched. I just asked the shop to reprint and that was end of it. It happened around '98 I think. Â Maybe it has something to do with optical system? I believe the shop was using Fuji frontier printer. Â -tanka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, better to take a 2 GB... I work in IT and experienced the goodness of this simple/stupid rule on lot of devices (Hard disks, USB Pens, memory sitcks...)

nryn Posted February 22, 2007 Share #11  Posted February 22, 2007 Clearly the frame winder lever was only engaged partway  (as mentioned numerous times, I suspect its a card or write to card issue.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
